Ashford Town put in a brave performance at Dartford but eventually went down 3-2 to the runaway league leaders.

The visitors went in front after seven minutes through a Jamie England penalty but just before the 15-minute mark Femi Ilesamni put through his own net to level the score.

Ten minutes later the home side made it 2-1 with a Danny Harris header and looked to be cruising to yet another win.

But Ashford silenced the 1,101-strong crowd just before half-time when Paul Johnson put England clean through and the midfielder completed his brace.

The decisive goal came three minutes into the second period when Lee Burns tapped in a cross from the right.

The result leaves Ashford seventh in the table.

Ryman Division One South

Promotion-chasing Godalming Town put last week’s points deduction behind them to record a 1-0 victory at Walton Casuals .

Glen Stanley - whose presence in a match in September when he was meant to be serving a ban cost the club three points - became the hero when he beat Casuals’ keeper Chico Ramos with a penalty just three minutes from time.

Earlier, Ramos had kept his side in the match when he saved a first-half spot kick.

The biggest win of the day came at Imber Court, where Metropolitan Police overcame Dulwich Hamlet 4-0.

Rob Smith, new signing Craig Carley, substitute Craig Wilkins and Gary Drewett all scored to help their side to a sixth successive victory.

Elsewhere, Merstham got their second win of 2010 with a 4-2 victory at home to Ramsgate.
